Anyways, all in all, this was a learning experience. nvidia-settings can handle almost everything except the proper fan control settings, since it can only set the fans at a static speed. Which is nice if everything runs okay, but it’s not ideal in case my computer starts to overheat for some reason.
GWE also shows that there’s a safety kill-switch, that if my GPU reaches 98c, that it will shut it down.
I don’t know if this automatically happens without GWE or not, but it’s nice having that peace of mind.
